Grasping the New DSM-5!

The much anticipated new DSM-5 arrived with much fanfare! What does this mean for clinicians? How is this DSM different or the same as the previous edition? This training will help participants navigate the new structure of the DSM and understand important changes in several disorders. Participants will gain an understanding of the logic behind the new categorization of diagnoses and symptoms and gain a better understanding of how to utilize the new DSM-5.

Participants will also gain an understanding of the relationship between the DSM-5 and the ICD (International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization) in classifying mental disorders.
